How to edit content?

Hi Malgorzata:

I assume you have only uploaded the output to a regular web server since you Zipped the output folder.

FYI: In order to upload your published output to a LMS, you need to ZIP the contents of the output folder. A file named imsmanifest.xml must be at the root of the SCORM ZIP file to work in a LMS.

To use the course, the learner will launch the story.html file.

This file will detect the browser and device type the learner is using and present the correct output for them.

Also, you cannot edit the output of a published story, you can only edit the .story file contents.

Thank you for your answer. I think I didn`t make my question clear I already published and zip my course for LMS and it works fine. However I found some mistales in the content that I need to correct. I would like to go back to output and make my corrections. I can`t see the outpuy in recently viewed, so I need to browse it. Which file should I open in order to open the whole course as a scene and make my corrections.

Hi Malgorzata:

To edit your course you open the Storyline source file. The .story file that you created it in.

If you created the course in Storyline, you go back to Sotryline to edit the course and republish.

Hi Malgorzata! Looks like Dennis is taking care of you here. You need to edit your content in Storyline and re-publish the updated content to your LMS.

Thanks for you assistance here Dennis

Hi all.

I'm encountering a similar situation to Malgorzata.

I dont have access to the original Storyline source file. (My predecessor would have had access)

All I have is a zipped version and its also on our LMS, Cornerstone.

How do we edit once content is outdated?

Thanks.

Hi Ayesha and welcome to E-Learning Heroes,

In order to modify a project created in Storyline, you need to have access to the original .STORY file that was used. Once you have access to that file, you can open it and modify the project. 

If you have contact with your predecessor, it may help to reach out to them and see if they have the original file. 

Sorry to hear about the trouble with this, hopefully you'll be given access to the project files that you need.

Best,

Christine

Thanks Christine.

You're very welcome :)

Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

Have a great day and welcome again!

Im having some what of a relevant issue. When I edit content on a story that is not originally mine, I am able to edit all that I want. I can preview just the slide or the scene and the edit I made works perfect. BUT when I try to view my story as a whole, (using the "preview entire project" button) my edits don't appear. Its like I hadn't edited it at all. Is there a fix?

Hi Jason,

Without knowing a little more, it's difficult to say what's happening.

First, please make sure that you're working with a local project file when you modify or publish your project. If you're working on a network drive, or any other external storage, that might be causing the trouble. 

• Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
• You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
• Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

Please also make sure you're running the most recent version of Storyline. Articulate Storyline Update 5 is now available. It includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and HTML5 output enhancements. Click here for details.

If that doesn't help, please try importing the original project file into a new, blank project file. The tutorial here will show you how to import existing slides into another project. This is usually a pretty quick fix if there's any corruption with the project file.

If you still have trouble with this, are you able to share the .STORY file? I'd be happy to take a look and see if I experience the same problems.

Thanks!
